This oil candle form was wheel thrown out of stoneware clay, with a small opening at the top to fit a glass wick holder. It stands on three squat feet. It is decorated with a hand carved repeating leaf pattern and glazed in my Blue Ridge glaze.

Each oil candle comes with a glass wick holder and a cotton wick, as well as a small funnel for filling the oil candle reservoir. The oil candles burn liquid paraffin lamp oil, which would need to be purchased separately (paraffin lamp oil photo included to the left for reference)

**The final image shows how the oil candles look when burning, but it is a different candle design and not the same object you will receive with this order-- merely meant as an example. 


Dimensions: 5" W x 3" H

**************************************************************************

My designs are inspired by the wild plants and trees that I encounter in my adventures, as well as by memories of the plants of my childhood in the Pacific Northwest. Each piece is hand-carved from scratch, so even with the same design, each piece is one-of-a-kind.

This piece was hand thrown on the wheel with stoneware clay. The decoration was hand-carved and inlaid with color before the piece was fired. I mix all of my own glazes and fire in a gas reduction kiln to 2400 degrees F.

CARE:

All pieces are food safe, microwave safe, and dishwasher safe, and can be used in the oven.

When using pottery in the kitchen, the key to longevity is avoiding temperature shocks, for example taking a bowl out of the fridge and putting it straight into the microwave or oven.

When using pottery in the oven, place the room temperature dish in a cold oven and heat it up with the oven. When pulling hot dishes out of the oven, beware of setting them on a wet surface.

If you follow these simple guidelines, you should enjoy a lifetime of use from my pottery.
